Spacer Pads for Decking Boards
Spacer pads are essential accessories for the proper installation of wooden decking. In a single installation step, they create a ventilation gap between the support frame and the decking board while ensuring accurate spacing between boards (typically 7 mm).
The spacing between the decking board and the support structure reduces stress on screws and allows the wood to dry effectively (after rain, snow, or near pools).
Using spacer pads significantly speeds up installation time (by up to 20%) and extends the lifespan of the decking (by up to one-third for softwood or European species) – all at minimal cost (1–2% of the project’s total expense).
Today, spacer pads are a standard element for installing decking boards with screws.
We stock a variety of spacer pad types (size, thickness, material) to suit every type of decking wood.
